ABOUT ME 

I have worked in diverse settings in London for the NHS, charities and in the private sector as a psychotherapist and art therapist. I hold all forms of creative expression in high esteem, and regard them as very important in informing my work as a psychotherapist. I also have a particular research interest in spirituality, religious faith, magical practice, and folklore, and the way in which they relate to one’s psychological and emotional life.

Publications and articles

I enjoy writing about psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, spirituality, and the arts, and have written several articles on my blog here. These are intended both as ‘standalone’ articles and as a means of providing further insight into the way in which I approach my work clinically. I also have a YouTube channel where I discuss matters relating to psychotherapy, art, and spirituality.

I have also written a book entitled ‘Trauma and the Supernatural in Psychotherapy' which considers perspectives from psychoanalysis, anthropology, literature, and folklore to explore the relationship between relational trauma and spiritual beliefs and experiences.
